Intravenous Drip – Dreaming about an intravenous drip, or IV, is a symbol of being in desperate need of help, which you feel can only come from outside yourself. This need for help may be because you have let yourself become overexerted or exhausted in some way, and are in desperate need of nutrition and rest, either physical, mental, or emotional. You also have a desire to have someone else help you out of your predicament and come to your aid as a rescuer of sorts. It is important to note that in your real life, unlike in medicine, the most powerful change must come from you.
